Carl Sagan
“The size and age of the Cosmos are beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home. In a cosmic perspective, most human concerns seem insignificant, even petty. And yet our species is young and curious and brave and shows much promise. In the last few millennia we have made the most astonishing and unexpected discoveries about the Cosmos and our place within it, explorations that are exhilarating to consider. They remind us that humans have evolved to wonder, that understanding is a joy, that knowledge is prerequisite to survival. I believe our future depends on how well we know this Cosmos in which we float like a mote of dust in the morning sky.”
Carl Sagan, Cosmos

Carlos Fuentes
“¿Podemos hoy imaginar el mundo sin Don Quijote? Cuesta mucho. ¿Sin Hamlet? Cuesta mucho. Sin embargo, hubo una época en que no existían.�Hoy ellos forman parte de la realidad porque fueron imaginados; lo que se imagina se convierte entonces en parte de la realidad...”
Carlos Fuentes

Carlos Fuentes
“Los mexicanos acostumbran culpar de todo al «sistema», sea cual éste sea. Jamás se culpan a sí mismos como personas o como ciudadanos.”
Carlos Fuentes, La silla del águila

Octavio Paz
“En lugar de interrogarnos a nosotros mismos,¿no sería mejor crear, obrar sobre una realidad que no se entrega al que la contempla, sino al que es capaz de sumergirse en ella?”
Octavio Paz, El laberinto de la soledad / Postdata / Vuelta a "El laberinto de la soledad"

Carl Sagan
“We can judge our progress by the courage of our questions and the depth of our answers, our willingness to embrace what is true rather than what feels good.”
Carl Sagan
